My baby is 5 months old!!! ^^

Happy 5 months old, sweetie!!! Since the moment she enter my life, its never the same for me anymore. Love for her grew day by day…. She bring joy and laughter to us.

She is a sweet girl who loves to smile at people. When we bring her outside, stranger love to play and talk to her and she would flash her sweetest smile and sometime chuckle to them!!!

Weight: The last time she was weighed was a month ago and she weighed 6.8kg.

Height: The last time she measured her height was a month ago was 65cm.

Health: She do have slight eczema around her neck area which the PD prescribe a lotion for us to apply for her daily but other other than that she has been healthy.

Sleep: She co-sleep with me since the first day she came back home. I have tried to let her sleep in the baby cot but it just dthan that she has been healthy. id not work out as she would be crying on and off. She sleep well beside me, and well, it also make breastfeeding her in the night easier for us. ^^

When she wakes up in the morning, she will roll over and tried to wriggle to my side and use her tiny fist to hit my back. And of course, this action will wake me up immediately, and the first thing she did when she see me looking at her is flashing me her big wide smile. There is nothing more happy than waking up to this cutie’s smile. ^^

Social: She just loves to look around at what's happening around her. As mention earlier, she is not in “stranger danger” phrase yet, she smiles at strangers when they smile at her and talk to her. She is perfectly ok when my neighbors carried her.

Diet: She is exclusively breastfeed, thus I am also not too sure how much she consume, its just feed on demand! ^^

Clothes: Joelle  is wearing 6-12 for Babygap, 6 months for carters and Old Navy.

Crying: Mostly she cry because she wants me to carry, sometimes its because she is over-tired and wants to sleep.  She tend to be more fussy at night and prefer me to Daddy. And sad to say, daddy always have to deal with her fussiness when I go shower and do some chores after our dinner.


Her irritating look during tummy time. Ahaha….

Milestones: Joelle is babbling a lot, smiling a lot and we've gotten a few belly smiles out of her too. She can hold and grab things well and stuff into her mouth accurately too. She can roll over from back to tummy and would start screaming for us when she cannot turn back. She still hates tummy time.She enjoy the daily flashcard activities and would try to grab the cards to feed her hungry mouth as usual. ^^

Overall she is a curious baby who love to hear people talk and observe her surroundings. She is getting much more mischievous now and would do funny act to make us laugh. We really love her so much!!!!!

In general, I feel pretty good about our routine now. Some days I'm so busy that my days zoom by so fast and I do feel pretty bad I spend much lesser time with my boys now.

Dayre

I have been using Dayre to update my daily happening since few months ago. I find that it is much convenient to update. Every night before I sleep, I would just post a quick update. It is a great way to document my girl’s growth and milestone and of course outfit of the day. Beside that, this application has really cool and cute stickers to add in your post.

The cute sticker which I mentioned earlier. ^^

Wide selection of sticker to choose from. These are only some of the stickers available… there’s a lot more!!!!! ^^

Joelle at 5 months old.

Wow… can’t believe time passes by so fast. Life have been much busier with a baby now. In a few more hours, Joelle would be turning 5 months old. It seems just not long ago, I was just holding her in my arm, a teeny tiny newborn. Looking back at the pictures then, it bring back so many memories. My days now are filled with so much joy and laughter since she came into my life.

I had wanted to update more often of Joelle growth and the boys’, but tiredness overtake me often and normally by the time I was free, it mostly after 10pm, and I was real lazy also lah. ^^

But I do tried to update on Dayre daily (Dayre is an app that be found in the Apps store or google play.

Here I would post some pictures taken for the last 2 months.

She hates tummy time and would wail and screamed for me to flip or carry her soon after I laid her down.One month ago which is when she turns 4 month old, she can suddenly flip overnight. Just 2 days ago, when we brought here for her 4 month checkup and vaccination, I was still telling the PD… .she can’t flip yet.. no sign of her learning or trying to roll over. And the PD reassure me that sometimes girl would be slower. But 2 days later, she just roll over. And from that moment over, there was no stopping her, she was rolling over again and again. But the bad news is that she can’t turn from tummy to back. (As I mentioned earlier, she hates tummy time), thus she would scream for us to rescue her whenever she roll over.

So you can see from the below picture, I tried to prevent her from rolling over by putting a cushion to block here. But as you can see again, she was so angry that I blocked her. ^^
But she is so persistent to roll over even just after her milk feed… vomit already still wanna flip!!!!!!

Taking lots of pictures and video  is the only way that I can freeze the moment for now. She is a sweet girl who likes to smile. Every morning, when she wakes up, she would lie on the bed and give me sweetest smile and baby talk to me. (Love these moments so much)

Looking so cute and innocent but is actually a chilli padi, her crying and screaming can bring the whole house down. Daddy has phobia to bring her out alone, worried that she would cry suddenly. (She is always doing this to Daddy, crying so loudly when he carry her.)

She loves kids but is teeny tiny afraid of Javier as he often disturb her or scare her. But she loves playing with Jayden and my neighbor's kids.

I love dressing up her, there is so much different types of clothing for girls. I am going crazy shopping for her. So many cutes accessories, shoes, dresses…..

Recently, I have even started DIY-ing headband for her to go with her outfit. ^^ Most of the headband in this post is DIY by me, actually it is quite simple and fun making it. The reason I had wanted to let her wear hairband is due to the reason, she has really messy hair that seems all over the place. And its even worst now since her hair is dropping.

This is one outfit that Daddy likes. He is one who seldom give comments on any outfit that we wear, but when he sees Joelle wearing this yellow romper (from Old Navy), he says “NICE”!  Wow… its so nice to hear that from him.

Love this ballerina top which I bought from Carters, it such a pretty top and quality is “thumbs up”.

This is a dress from Babygap. Babygap has so many sweet and adorable dresses and I just couldn’t stop buying some for her.
Recently, she has become so much mischievous, she will turn her head away and refused to look at the camera when I wanted to snap pictures of her. Of course, this is a coincidence picture of her using my len’s cover to cover her face lah, don’t think she is so clever yet to be able to use it to cover her own face lo.


Notice the necklace she is wearing,  it’s amber necklace which is not only attractive to wear and it also provide natural pain relief and soothing analgesic support during teething (which is my main reason for letting her wear it).
She is getting much stronger, and would attempt to sit up by herself on the rocker.

Dressing up her up like a minnie mouse. She is still too young to select the clothes to wear, thus now is the best time to dress her up whatever I like. Haha… for my boys, they are starting to be choosey in the clothes and thus I need to check out with them before I purchased any clothes for them.
Anything which he get hold off, she will stuff inside her mouth, and Javier love to give her stuff to practice her fine motor skill.
The mischievous boy dumping all the socks on Joelle and I guess she finds it funny too from the way she giggled. ^^

My dearest mommy with my niece and Joelle. My niece carrying Joelle, she is really good with kids. She can carry baby so well and Joelle love her too. She did not even look for me the whole day unless she wants to sleep or drink milk. ^^Over here, she is playing with her playgym. At least it can entertain her for a while when I am busy. ^^

That’s all for my update for now. Will try to pop by my blog as much as possible. ^^
